Dear fellow shareholders,
During the second quarter 2024, our adjusted net asset value reached SEK 969bn, an increase of 8 percent, including dividend added back. Our total shareholder return was 9 percent, compared to 2 percent for the SIXRX return index.
The geopolitical situation is challenging. In addition to military conflicts, rising protectionism is negatively affecting global trade. Moreover, global demand remains mixed. While the overall US economy continues to show relative strength, weakness in Germany is holding Europe back and the expected Chinese recovery is taking time. Consumers are still under pressure, and recent inflationary data has been volatile. Market expectations of lower interest rates are intact, but the pace and magnitude of central bank rate cuts is hard to predict. In this environment, agility remains key. While we cannot direct the wind, we can adjust the sails, pushing and supporting our companies to work relentlessly on performance here and now, and simultaneously investing to future-proof their businesses.
Listed Companies percent, outperforming the SIXRX by 9 percentage points. The outperformance was broad-based, partly driven by strong first quarter reports.
Ericsson is the world leader in mobile network technology and has a strong market position. Its core mobile networks business is profitable, and we believe that the company is well positioned to drive new growth. We invested SEK 2.8bn in Ericsson during the quarter, at a valuation we find attractive.
The total return during the quarter was 2 percent, driven primarily by earnings growth.
Sales growth for the major subsidiaries was 9 percent, of which 7 percent organically in constant currency. Adjusted EBITA grew 10 percent.
Mölnlycke reported organic growth of 8 percent in constant currency, driven by all business areas. Wound Care also grew by 8 percent organically in constant currency. Underlying profitability was essentially flat. Mölnlycke distributed EUR 200m to Patricia Industries.
Laborie, Permobil and Advanced Instruments all reported strong growth and profitability. Growth was supported by TM.
Atlas Antibodies sales remain at low levels, largely due to weak demand from biotech customers. The company is doing a good job protecting profits. Over time, the key value driver is to return to growth.
Organic profitable growth always remains the top priority for our companies. That said, accelerating growth and innovation through add-on acquisitions to bring new products, technologies, customers and competence aboard, remains an integral part of our strategy. The work with such acquisitions is continuous in nature. However, the rate of closing is inherently volatile.
During the quarter, Sarnova and BraunAbility completed strategic add-on acquisitions for a total enterprise value of SEK 5.6bn. The acquisitions were financed by each company respectively.
The reported value change of Investments in EQT was -4 percent, driven by the negative total return in EQT AB. Investment activity remained high. Net cash flow to Investor was close to zero.
Our goal remains to generate attractive total shareholder returns by growing our net asset value, paying a steadily rising dividend and delivering on our ESG targets. To succeed, we focus relentlessly on performance, portfolio and people. As owners, we support our companies to capture profitable growth, including opportunities related to AI, innovation and the green transition. We also work with our own portfolio composition over time.
Attracting, developing and retaining top talent in our companies and at Investor is crucial. Over the last year, the boards of our portfolio companies were further strengthened.
We have a portfolio of strong, well-run companies, and a great team at Investor. It will require hard work, and the road will not always be straight, but I am confident that we are in a good position to continue building best-in-class companies and grow our net asset value. Thank you for your trust in our work.

We have reviewed the Interim report of Investor AB (publ), corporate identity number 556013-8298, for the period January 1-June 30, 2024. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make
us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

All valuations in level 3 are based on assumptions and judgments that management considers to be reasonable based on the circumstances prevailing at the time. Changes in assumptions may result in adjustments to reported values and the actual outcome may differ from the estimates and judgments that were made. Shares and participations in level 3 are mainly fund investments within EQT. holdings (Net s are reported with a one-quarter lag. Part of the unlisted portfolio is valued based on comparable companies, and the value is dependent on the level of the multiples. The multiple ranges provided in the note show the minimum and maximum value of the actual multiples applied in these valuations. A 10 percent change of the multiples would have an effect on this part of the unlisted portfolio of approximately SEK 110m (155). For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 555m (600).
The table below indicates how fair value is measured for the financial instruments recognized at fair value in the Balance sheet. The financial instruments are presented in three categories, depending on how the fair value is measured: Level 1: According to quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments
Level 2: According to directly or indirectly observable inputs that are not included in level 1
Level 3: According to inputs that are unobservable in the market

| Valuation methodology | |
|---|---|
| Listed Companies | Share price (bid) for the class of shares held by Investor, with the exception of Saab, Electrolux and Electrolux Professional for which the most actively traded share class is used. Trading Act (LHF). ABB, AstraZeneca, Nasdaq and Wärtsilä in accordance with Swiss, British, U.S. and Finnish regulations. Includes market value of derivatives related to investments if applicable. |
| Patricia Industries | |
| Subsidiaries | Reported value based on the acquisition method. As supplementary information, subsidiaries are also presented at estimated market values, mainly based on valuation multiples for relevant listed peers and indices. Other methodologies may also be used, for example relating to real estate assets. New investments valued at invested amount during the first 18 months following the acquisition. |
| Partner-owned investments | Reported value based on the equity method. As supplementary information, partner-owned investments are also presented at estimated market values, mainly based on valuation multiples for relevant listed peers and indices. |
| Financial Investments | Unlisted holdings at multiple or third-party valuation, listed shares at share price (bid). |
| Investments in EQT | Unlisted holdings at multiple or third-party valuation, listed shares at share price (bid). |
| Supplementary information | In addition to reported values, which are in accordance with IFRS, Investor provides estimated market values for the wholly-owned subsidiaries and partner-owned investments within Patricia Industries in order to asset value. This supplementary, non-GAAP information also increases the consistency between the valuation of Listed Companies and our major wholly-owned subsidiaries and partner-owned Tre Skandinavien. |
|---|---|
| Estimated market values | While the estimated market values might not necessarily reflect our view of the intrinsic values, they reflect how the stock market values similar companies. |
| Methodology | The estimated market values are mainly based on valuation multiples (median), typically Enterprise value - weighted average share price (VWAP) plus closing date net debt. While we focus on EBITA when evaluating the performance of our companies, for valuation purposes, EBITDA multiples are more commonly available, and therefore often used. From the estimated EV, net debt is deducted, and the remaining equity value is |
| Adjustments | Operating profit is adjusted to reflect, for example, pro forma effects of completed add-on acquisitions and certain non-recurring items. An item is only viewed as non-recurring if it exceeds a certain amount set for each company, is unlikely to affect the company again, and does not result in any future benefit or cost. Acquisitions made less than 18 months ago are valued at cost. |
